Battle of Brooklyn: Yards Documentary Trailer Drops
Clinton Hill-based documentary company Rumur (the same folks who helped produce a bunch of short videos for us a couple of years back) has just released the trailer for the Atlantic Yards film it’s been working on for the last six years. You can read about how the producers got involved with the project here….

Grand Army, what evidence do you have, aside from the anecdotes you cited?
I’d bet my right arm that this movie contained quotes and interview that are 95% opposed to AY. Highly doubtful that it’ll be balanced.
Nice story grand army, but I’m afraid that isn’t exactly what most reasonable people would consider actual evidence.
There’s SO much evidence that FCR packs the room with the rent-a-crowd mob. I was at a community mtg at City Tech a couple years back sitting next to a sweet high school kid who was only too happy to tell me that he got t-shirts, hats, fast food coupons and other goodies in exchange for attending the mtg. I was actually worried for him when the carpentry union goons he was there with looked like they were ready to pound him for giving me the skinny!
“employment.”
Jeez. Blame it on Friday.
Let’s try that sentence one more time:
“If you live in the area, or might gain empoylment or housing as a result of the development….”
“Which Brooklyn residents hold a stake in AY and what does their stake currently consist of?”
If you libe in the area, ot mugith gain empoylment or housing as a result of the development, you have a “stake” in the future of this project. I didn’t intend that to necessarily mean a financial position.
“stakeholders”, ???
Are there really stakeholders involved in this at present? I mean aside from Bruce Ratner and his crew of Nets owners. Which Brooklyn residents hold a stake in AY and what does their stake currently consist of?
I’m just curious.
yes, it is, but it is what Bruce Ratner’s chief community supporter said and has been saying for years. you think that is by accident?
“the idea that “real ” Brooklynites support AY and the rest were either racist, classist or fake Brooklynites.”
Admittedly, that is just ridiculous!
